Paulo Coehlo describes Monty Soul

Monty is never predictable but he has the best quality..

Monty isnever predictablebut he has thebest qualitysomeone can have:being a good friend. And he has also agigantic default:hisphone ringsin the middle of any conversation, regardless of how important the meeting is……and in90%of the cases,he answersthe phone.

But l met quite afew visionaries in my life, andMonty is one of them.Always with new projects that he manage to implement, always thinking ahead of most of the people. But he isalways a surprise.

He mightdancedown the street,gazeinto the eyes of a complete stranger andspeakof love, or elsedefendanapparently absurd idea(which by the way is never absurd). When he feels that themoment has arrived, hedrops everythingand goes off on some long- dreamed-of adventure.

He never spends his days trying to play the role that others have chosen for him.“Paulo Coehlo “

There is an old Arab story that goes like this:

Once upon a time there was a poor hut very brave man called Ali. He worked for Ammar, a rich old merchant. One winter’s night Ammar said: “No one can spend a night like this on the top of the mountain without a blanketorƒoad. But you need money, and lƒ you can munage to do that you will receive a great reward. lf you dont, you will workfor thirty days without pay”. Ali answered: “Tomorrow l shall do this test”. But when he left the shop, he saw that a really icy wind was blowing and became scared, so he decided to ask his bestfriend, Aydi, U’ lt was crazy of him to accept that het. After reflecting a while, Aydi answered: “l shall help you. Tomorrow, when you are at the top of the mountain, look ahead. l will be on the top of the mountain next to yours, where l will spend the whole night with a bonfire lit ƒor you. You look at the fire and think about our jriendship-that will keep you warm. You will manage, and later on l shall ask you something in return.” Ali won the test _got the money, and went to his ƒriend’s house: “You told me you wanted some payment”Aydi answered: ” Yes, but isn ‘t money. Promise that lfat any time a cold wind through my life, you will light the fire of fiiendship for me. ”. Monty is this man, always ready to light the fire of friendship.
